Hi all, Hoping someone may have some information on my great grandfather. His name is John William Evans. He was born in 1870 in Jamestown Tn. He was married two times. Once to Ona Davis. They had two children, Mary & Thomas. With his second wife, Molly Elkins, they had 11. Mrytle, Pearl, Maudie, Beulah, John, Lonnie, Alonza, Charles, Carl, Andrew & Harry(my grandfather). I know that they lived in Dorthy. My grandfather, Harry, was in the Clearfork High class of 43 or 44. They lived on the west side of Coal River which is now all gone and grown over. I am told they once had many stores and even a movie theater there! I also know that Molly Elkins-Evans lived in a small house in Whitesville when she died. The house is still there. I am told that John William Evans was a "Big Wig" with the railroad. I am pretty sure he worked on the railroad as I have a picture of him with a crew of men on a rail car. The Evans side of my family is a big black hole! Unfortunately all my grandfather's brothers & sisters, including him 1926-1983, are gone. It seems that my grandmother did not have to much contact with the Evans side . So she only knows bits & pieces. Thanks again to all that have answered my previous e-mails. You all have been a tremendous help. Jeff Evans
